      Verdict

      CHANGING THE GUARD took the scalp of Baby Mix last month and with that line of form appearing to scare away much of the likely opposition, we will seek not to oppose him under a penalty. Highway Code bids to break his duck at the seventh time of asking. He didn't appear to stay over further at Worcester and the drop back to two miles should suit. Featherintheattic won a bumper and two hurdles for Nicky Henderson before going to the sales last summer. He ran respectably on his debut for Warren Greatrex but he hasn't shown very much on two subsequent outings. Sportsreport has plenty to find on his form under Rules while the remainder appear hard to fancy.
